Would you please define “corpse crumbs”? I have no idea what the phrase means and I’m not finding it via a Google search.

I mentioned it in the previous post - a plot where they drop bodies throughout the story.

I loved Inspector Morse and have equally loved Endeavour.

I always joke with my wife that Oxford sure is a lot more murdery than I would have expected. If Jessica Fletcher and Andy Sipowicz came to visit there wouldn’t be anyone left alive.

Speaking of which, it reminded me of the term ‘[cozy murder mysteries](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_mystery#Notable_examples_of_the_genre).’ I love that term.

‘How did the victim die?’

‘Smothered with a tea cozy sir.’
